Flavor Flav Unmasked on "The Masked Singer"
In the latest episode of "The Masked Singer," Flavor Flav took off his Space Ranger costume, surprising fans with his early elimination. He sang "Cleanin’ Up the Town," a song from the "Ghostbusters" soundtrack, but it wasn’t enough to keep him in the competition. Flav shared with Variety that being on the show was a dream come true for him.
Flav is known for his vibrant personality and distinctive voice, which he likened to icons like James Earl Jones. He found joy in surprising the audience and making his mark on the show, explaining, “I love being the center of attention.” Despite leaving early, he expressed disappointment, saying he wished he could sing more on the show.
The episode, themed “Ghostbusters Night,” featured host Nick Cannon and judges Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Rita Ora, and Robin Thicke. The reveal was almost expected; Jeong guessed incorrectly, humorously suggesting DJ Jazzy Jeff instead of Flav. The clues leading up to Flav’s unmasking were clear to many, featuring hints like the letters "P.E." for his legendary group, Public Enemy.
This season has introduced intriguing new elements to "The Masked Singer." A new character called "Detective Lucky Duck" offers clues to help panelists guess the identities of contestants. Additionally, they introduced “Crack the Case” clue cases, providing further insights into the eliminated contestants.
